Luís Henrique Farinhas Taffner (born 17 March 1998), known as Luís Henrique, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward for Japanese club Kataller Toyama.

Club career[]

Born in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, Luís Henrique began his professional career at Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas. He made his debut on 3 July 2015, at the age of 17, starting in a Série B against Sampaio Corrêa at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, scoring two goals in the first half of a 5–0 victory which kept his team at the top of the table.[1] Away to title rivals Bahia twenty-two days later, he opened a 1–1 draw.[2]

After finishing the year with four goals in 15 appearances and a subsequent promotion, Luís Henrique featured regularly during the 2016 Campeonato Carioca, but only scored two goals. He made his Série A debut on 22 May of that year, coming on as a late substitute for Neílton in a 1–1 away draw against Sport.

On 3 January 2017, after being rarely used, Luís Henrique rescinded his contract – which was due to expire in May – and signed a two-year contract with Atlético Paranaense.[3]

On 16 May 2019, Henrique joined Finnish club Helsinki IFK.[4] On 15 January 2020 it was confirmed, that Helsinki's cooperation club, Vejle Boldklub from Denmark, had signed Henrique. The Brazilian, however, would stay at Helsinki for the 2020 season on loan.[5] HIFK confirmed on 8 September 2020, that Vejle had recalled Henrique.[6] However, he only played 82 minutes in the league and therefore, he was loaned out once again on 24 January 2021, this time to HJK Helsinki.[7]

On 9 March 2022, Henrique joined Japanese J3 League club Kataller Toyama.[8]

International career[]

Luís Henrique was part of the Brazil squad at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile. In the last 16, against New Zealand at the Estadio Sausalito in Viña del Mar, he won an added-time penalty when fouled by James McGarry, and converted it for the only goal of the game.[9]
